I have had mental health problems in the past and though they where horrible to experience, they made me a stronger person and showed me how to ask for help. If we never have negativitiy in the world then how can we pledge to fix it and improve it?

Question is: Is there a god or is it a creation of the human mind? The fact that we became aware of our existence made us also aware of the limits of our life! Death became a crucial item in our way of life. Mankind realised how restricted and inferior he is compared with the other natural beings. So he needed somehing that could stand above it and control all threats. So the concept of a god was born!!Than we began to use this godness (= religion) to justify his evil deeds like racism, discrimination of other cultures, sick and poor people, extiction of life, etc.....I still remember the words of Pres. Bush W. junior when his troops were send for a pre-emptive strike "May god be with you", the same did the crusaders, the colonisators. they used religion to justify their genocides!That is why Lenin once said" religion is as opium for the people". We use god or our religion for all kid of acts we otherwise could not live with it. The unbearable facts of being!!

Lenin and Stalin were taking themselves for gods too .......... taking the lives of almost 100Millions of people just in the name of their BS communist religion ...... Must we build a Pantheon for them ?? just asking......

asdlinux: Well ... I think it is because of what people call god is actually something totally different from what they think it is, And there for this "force" is misguided, giving these consequences that you describe.

Religion is not the answer for worlds problems, If it was, we would live in a perfect world. but we are not. So it is an epic fail. Human kind need to reconsider that only thing to help is ourself. We simply have to change and stop using religion as an excuise to everything.

Simply treat others as you want to be treated yourself, it is that simple.

I absolutely agree with you. The problem is what people call god. If we all have the same concept of god then t will make sense, but some people call god something in the sky watching all that you described happen to mankind. And they believe god is coming sometime to stop all the killings and injustices we all face in different levels.

Honestly, you nailed it and I can't say it better. The general concept of god is the problem here.If what people are taught to be god is God, and He's called the father, which father, no matter how heartless will seat and what his children be tortured, starved and killed and He wouldn't rush to save them?
